A COMPARATIVE INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN EVOLUTION

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, according to the program for this evening, the topic of my speech
is "A Comparative Introduction to Human Evolution", so, unless anyone has
another subject that they'd like to hear instead, .... No? No takers, for
anything else? Well, okay, here we go.

Did you know that there was an atomic war in India, 63,000 years ago?
Yes, the upper Ganges River still has the ruins from that war, and they are
still finding human skeletons and skulls that have over 50 times the normal
radiation-levels that an ordinary skeleton would have. And the ruins have
walls and stones on which the surfaces have been vitrified....in other
words, the surfaces have been turned to glass....which is only possible
under the tremendously high temperatures of an atomic explosion.

Anyway, I am not here this evening to talk about the particulars of that
war, although I may include such in a future talk. What I will be talking
about IS, the tremendous AGE of human existence, as shown by the science of
Human Evolution.

So, what I intend to do, for those of you who may be unfamiliar with the
concept of Human Evolution, is to introduce you to it and show you where it
fits into humanity's understanding of human existence.

First of all, I need to distinguish between the terms evolution and
reincarnation.

Even though both terms refer to the same concept, as far as defining
humanity's origins and existence, there is a difference in the useage of
those two terms.

Reincarnation is primarily an Eastern concept and term, which is used in
most Eastern countries....although, I will grant you, there ARE a great many
advocates here in Western societies, as well....but, the term especially has
a religious and cultural significance, in relation to the various Eastern
religions and cultures.

Evolution, on the other hand, is the term used primarily in the West. It
refers to the scientific investigation of human existence, and it has NO
religious significance whatsoever. But, both terms DO refer to the same
concept, in defining human existence on this planet.

Now, one thing more I need to clarify. I am NOT talking about what is
called Darwinian evolution, the old theory by Charles Darwin or his more
recent followers, that humanity is descended from the Great Apes. NO, I am
talking about modern, scientific HUMAN Evolution.

Meaning that humanity IS, and always HAS, existed AS HUMAN BEINGS, FROM
TIME IMMEMORIAL. Once a human is originally "born" (at whatever "time" such
may be), that person's Soul will essentially live forever, going through
MANY lives and stages of growth and evolution, and eventually reaching a
level of maturity, in which that person KNOWS Who they are, What their
reason for living is, and can consequently REMEMBER their existence,
throughout each and every "lifetime" that the person has ever lived. THAT is
Human Evolution, and it certainly DOES include the concept of Reincarnation,
as a means of identifying the immortal Soul OF such a person, whose Soul
does transcend the limitations and mortal "existence" of the corporeal
"body".

Note, however, that very rarely is the case, or even the possibility,
that an individual Soul can, or will, achieve such a "maturity", of that
Soul, which we define here as KNOWING, IN a single "lifetime". Such a
process, as we have previously mentioned, does normally take MANY lives and
stages of growth and HUMAN evolution (UNLESS that Soul shall have been
imbued by Infinite Consciousness WITH such KNOWING, prior TO that person's
original "birth"). Anyway, the point here is, that humanity, and the
individual members of Mankind, DO go through the many "levels" of Human
Evolution, as a "process" in the Soul's development and evolution. So, such
is the definition of the term HUMAN EVOLUTION.

Now, true, the old Darwinian evolution DOES still exist, within the
scientific community. BUT, it IS gradually taking a back seat, as more and
more scientists continually discover the geologic and anthropological
evidence of humanity's existence on this planet, going back a LONG time
before the Great Apes supposedly came into existence, which was about 60
million years ago, according to Grzimek's Encyclopedia of Evolution, making
the very concept, as Darwinian "evolution" does postulate, that humanity is
"derived" and "fathered" from the Great Apes, a most distinct
impossibility.

Now, to clarify Human Evolution even further, I have here a chart (NOTE:
Until such charts and drawings, as did accompany these original lectures,
can be digitized and rendered appropriately in the dimensionalities
required, such charts/drawings have been omitted from the textual
reprintings of these lectures. Hopefully, they can be added in the near
future, and thusly improve the clarity of the content for the reader. In the
meanwhile, I shall trust that these verbal "renderings" might suffice for
proper understanding.), that shows what the entire population of the world
thinks about human existence. It shows that, out of the total population of
the world, of 5.615 Billion people (according to 1994 statistics), 3.97
Billion people, or 70.7% of humanity, accepts, and understands, the concept
and principles of human evolution, including reincarnation. Over here (on
the chart), we have 25.5% of the people, who still follow the concepts of
Darwinian evolution. And lastly, we have the 3.8% of humanity that believes
in Creationism, the literal interpretation of the Bible, that God created
all life in 6 days, about 6000 years ago.

Now, notice also on the chart, the Darwinian people say that the age of
humanity is about 6 Million years. The Human Evolution people, on the other
hand, say that the age of humanity is 3 BILLION years PLUS. And, as I said,
the Creationists say that it is only 6000 years. Well, since we are talking
about the scientific concepts of human existence, I will NOT be discussing
the religious concepts of Creationism.

Now, as I said earlier, modern scientists are continually finding
evidence of humanity's ancient origins.

In 1968, geologists from the University of Arizona, digging in Utah, were
looking for trilobite fossils, which were one of the first multicellular
life forms that came into existence IN the earth's geologic evolution. They
found two trilobite fossils, BUT both were crushed by, AND still attached
to, a larger fossil above them. That larger fossil was the fossilized
remains of a human sandal-shoe print. All three fossils were found in a
geologic layer that was about 600 million years old....when that unknowing
human stepped on those poor trilobites, and made geologic history.

Another example of the many recent scientific discoveries that are
further validating the concept of human evolution, is a report by Glenn T.
Seaborg, the former chief of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, that was
reported in the New York Times and subsequently also detailed in the
Smithsonian magazine, about the Oklo find, in Gabon, West Africa. The Oklo
find turned out to be a large deposit of uranium. BUT, it was deposited in
concentric layers, one after another, and the unusual thing about it was
that it was FISSIONED uranium, or the used-up, spent residue that is removed
from nuclear reactors. Humanity had just found a nuclear dump. BUT, that
nuclear dump had been buried in a geologic layer that had been sitting
there, undisturbed, for 1.8 BILLION years.

Now, I could go on and on here, noting and detailing the MANY findings,
of scientists, geologists, archaeologists, and explorers of all kinds, who
have made their discoveries and reported such, only to find, in many
instances, that their entirely scientific and valid "discoveries" did NOT,
in some way, AGREE with the "accepted", and "consensually-agreed-upon"
"realities" of science, AS propounded and put "forth" BY the "scientific
establishment" - the vested-interest organizations, of the worldwide
"scientific community", whose very reason for existence IS to "tell" the
rest of us what IS and what IS NOT "so", as to the "realities" of science.
Well, as I discuss at some length elsewhere (and in my E-book,"KNOWING: The
Quantum Physics of Consciousness, Life and Reality!"), the fact IS that
most of those organizational "scientific establishmentarians" ARE the
remaining minority of classical, Newtonian scientists, that do yet exist in
the world today, and which "cling" stubbornly to the outdated and outworn
concepts of classical Newtonian physics, which IS still being "taught", BY
such people, at many campuses, scientific institutes and other such
"scientific establishments" throughout the world. In other words, such
scientists/physicists as who have not yet accepted the realities OF Quantum
Physics and all of its implications and realities, in the true scientific
explanation, AND application, OF the very Principles of Quantum Physics TO
ALL of Life and that which "exists", from the microcosm TO the
macrocosm.

SO, I shall merely state here that, the "findings", discoveries, and
other scientific data and facts, that are, and shall be, reported IN these
lectures, ARE the REAL, ACTUAL and existing (existential) "realities", AS
discovered BY the scientists/physicists/researchers, etc. noted, which MAY or
may not have had their most reputable discoveries "shoved under the rug" (as
it has been called), BY the "scientific establishment". BUT, the point of
"realization" IS gradually coming to reality today, in the venues of
worldwide science and the practice thereof, and reputable scientists
everywhere ARE coming to the conclusion that the "rug is quite lumpy", with
all these "unexplained" (according to the "scientific establishment")
phenomena, and that something has to be done, in taking ANY and ALL
reputable and scientific "discoveries" INTO ACCORD, in the attempts of
science to explain the "realities" of Life and existence. And so, both in my
E-book and in these lectures, I do most certainly put forth the ACTUAL
realities of science and scientific discovery, AS such has been reported to
us BY those who have made the discoveries. And such DOES include the
realities OF the billions of years OF human existence, both on this world
AND THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE (which I discuss more fully in my E-book).

Returning to our discussion of Human Evolution, and recognizing the
achievements and discoveries of scientists everywhere, we can finally say
that humanity has left us MANY monuments OF its ancient existence, some of
which have been found in the most surprising locations.

Consider the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Modern science has proven that it
could NOT have been built by manual labor, no matter how many thousands of
workers there could have been. And the Japanese, back in the 80's, tried to
build a duplicate of the Great Pyramid, in the Egyptian desert, using the
latest in modern technology, and failed miserably in their attempt to do
so.

So HOW, and WHEN, and WHO, DID build the Great Pyramid in Egypt? OR, for
that matter, the Great Pyramid on MARS?VISUAL PRESENTATION: Chart, with
official NASA space photo, from the Viking Orbiter 1 mission to Mars, 1976
(VIKING FRAME NUMBER 70A13), showing the Great Pyramid of Mars (the D&M
Pyramid) in very clear, stark black and white detail, as photographed from
the orbiting spacecraft, as well as further details of the Cydonia Region
(where the Great Pyramid is located), mentioning photographic details (from
other NASA photos) of the other "anamolous" structures in that region
("anamolous", the classification used by NASA, means physical surface
features that are apparently or obviously NOT natural in origin): such as
the "Fortress"; the "Runway/Landing Strip"; the other smaller pyramid
structures; the multiple-structure "City"; and the huge, 3 mile long by 1
1/2 mile wide, perfectly shaped human "Face", complete with an ancient
Egyptian headpiece over the head. The chart also compares the Great Pyramid
with the one in Egypt, noting that the height of the Egyptian pyramid is 452
feet, while the Martian pyramid is 1650 feet in height.

Perhaps someday, one of the members of this audience here this evening,
will be the scientist who answers those questions.

Now, to summarize this speech on Human Evolution, I'd like to read a
quotation from Dr. Joseph Jochmans, the eminent historian and
anthropologist, with HIS thoughts on Human Evolution:

"Man has always remained essentially man throughout his existence. His
physical appearance may have changed from age to age, but his capacity for
intelligence, for the creation of advanced civilizations, and for the
production of sophisticated technologies, has always remained the SAME. The
history of man reads as the story of his constant struggle to understand and
overcome the catastrophic forces in nature, in the cosmos and within
himself, which have repeatedly destroyed man's high civilizations and
technologies, reducing him to levels where he had to begin an upward
development AGAIN and AGAIN. This cyclic history of continual advancements
and destructions can be demonstrated through the geologic record as
extending back THREE BILLION YEARS, to the very beginning of the known
fossil record. Man has passed along the SAME road of civilization that we
travel TODAY perhaps as many as a HUNDRED THOUSAND times before."
